An Israeli report just released reveals Hamas used sexual violence as a “tactical weapon of war” during its Oct. 7, 2023 attacks. The Dinah Project, a team of legal and gender experts, based its findings on testimonies, first responder accounts, and forensic evidence. It urges a new approach to prosecuting conflict-related sexual violence, noting most victims were either killed or remain too traumatized to speak, leaving investigators with limited evidence and deep challenges. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24’s Delano D’Souza is pleased to welcome Professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, Israeli legal scholar and academic, and founding member of the Dinah Project.
